Not homoousios

The concept of homoousios (Greek for "of the same substance" or "of one essence") is central to the Nicene Creed, which asserts that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is of the same substance as God the Father.

John 15:1-5 (NIV):

1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."
